Description

In Part 2 of my conversation with Team USA bobsled pilot Shane Fisher, we go deeper into the real cost of chasing an Olympic dream—and why mindset alone isn’t enough when the bills keep coming.

Shane pulls back the curtain on the financial side of being an elite athlete for Team USA:

• How little funding most athletes actually receive
• The sacrifices and side jobs required just to stay in the game
• The emotional toll of training like a pro while living without pro-level support

We also unpack the origin story of the American Paragons Foundation—the organization Shane founded to support underfunded Team USA athletes. He explains how American Paragons helps athletes by:

• Connecting them with employers who understand the demands of high-level training
• Partnering with media platforms and storytellers (like this podcast) to share their journeys
• Matching them with mentors who’ve navigated the same path
• Finding lodging hosts who can relieve the burden of housing costs while they train and compete

If you’ve ever wondered what it truly takes—mentally, emotionally, and financially—to represent your country on the world stage, this episode will change how you see Olympic hopefuls.

Tune in to Part 2 with Shane Fisher to learn how you can support America’s next generation of Olympians and become part of the solution.
